Client Feedback
My company, Rockport Mortgage Corporation, celebrated its 10 year anniversary in 2002, and we hired Jacqueline Ganim-De Falco to help us plan and implement a marketing event as well as develop a website for our company. Jacqueline was extremely creative and tenacious in motivating myself and my staff to stay the course to develop a professional website we could be proud of and following through on purchasing and organizing the delivery of a unique gift to our top 100 clients in celebration of our anniversary. The time and effort that she put in and made sure that we invested paid off in creating much good will with clients, a number of which we had not talked to in months, as well as some new business opportunities. Jacqueline was always a pleasure to work with and her gentle persistence was important in ensuring that we completed the most ambitious marketing event in our 10 year history.
